netinst question

[dafydd hughes]

Hi folks

I'm new here, so please point me in the right direction if this  
question's answered elsewhere.

This is my first attempt at installing debian via internet - I've  
been using the Agnula distribution, but for various reasons I'm  
trying the netinst install.  Trouble is, my laptop (hp omnibook xe2,  
p2 333, 3com cardbus network card) isn't automatically bringing up  
eth0 after the base install, so the fist steps of apt configuration  
fail because it can't find the mirror.

Is there a way to interrupt the install program at this point and  
manually bring up the interface with ifup?  I tried ctl-alt-F6 and  
logged in as root.  ifup eth0 works, but I can't figure out how to  
return to the install program after that.

Again, I apologize if this is covered elsewhere - I couldn't find  
anything in the archives.

cheers
dafydd
